Progression

[Verse 1]
I'm just a hop skip and a jump
Away from, the place I wanna end up
Preparin' for the landin'
My parachute is standin'
I pray the fall is smooth
Cause I'm out here feelin' stranded
With delusions of grandeur
Like niggas survivin'
We just complyin' with our hands up
They still gon' shoot us down cause they can't stand us
The paper bag test we ain't passed it
I must've missed the master classes in the midst of madness
Was too consumed by the pressure of sadness
Alas, beating myself up like a heavy bag
Everlast, nothing's ever good enough my criticism's crucial
Tryin' to find some common ground that we can stand upon that's mutual
Then I'll meet you half way if you can go the distance, more persistence
See my vision, bigger than you thought it was
Nigga what you thought it was?
Made the proper adjustments adjusted this fuckin' matrix
They say the end is near my nigga that's an understatement
I'm finna throw in the towel we livin' foul this shit is flagrant
A day to day basis is how I move on
Could go deep like 50,000 feet below the surface level
Get straight to the core of the issue it might get too hot
But I'll dig a little deeper til you tell me to stop, ah

[Chorus]
Time moves on, I know, I know, I know, I know-oh
And you and I, In time, In time, will grow, will grow-oh

[Verse 2]
Woke up this morning had a conversation with
My maker no mistaken he said my purpose is this
That's my intuition talkin' I'm gon' listen to it
He said I showed you the way, but yet you still ain't convinced
This rap is much more than a passion it's the way that I vent
I keep my feelings bottled up behind emotional tint
The times I roll in currency then that explains why I'm spent
If thoughts can manifest that explains why I feel like shit
Stuck in this self-imposed prison for a life sentence
Life's a Rubik's Cube 4 corners small prism
This shit's simple addition don't treat it like long division
Yes I been on a mission just listen and you can feel it
I got too much on my plate overwhelmed
How can I help the world when I can't help myself?
How can I save them all when I can't save myself?
That's the million dollar question that I still ain't cashed in

[Chorus]
Time moves on, I know, I know, I know, I know-oh
And you and I, In time, In time, will grow, will grow-oh

[Outro; Sample: Jeru The Damaja, Ugly Duckling]
I used to be a pawn in the game
Now i change my position
If the end is near
Then send it here
I used to be a pawn in the game
Now i change my position
If the end is near
Then send it here
If the end is near
Then send it here
If the end is near
Then send it
